The local shop I frequent is a second-generation gun shop. Couldn't ask for a better place to shop for, buy, or ask about guns. When you walk in the door, you're asked, "how can I help you?" You respond, and the owner does his best to assist. There are 4 or 5 stools in front of the counter, that are almost always occupied, and there are at least 250-300 firearms in the place, all the time. He special orders anything with no fees, transfers are $25. His gun prices are a bit higher than internet prices, but if I really need something on a Sunday afternoon, he'll walk next door and open up for me. I think that's worth a few bucks.

As is my local funstore, they are great. They are paid hourly no commission. I got one guy i always talk to when i go in, hes my ar go to guy.

You are lucky to have such a fine place to shop. In my area, the larger the shop the more they cater to the well-heeld. The best stocked shop in the region will not give you the time of day unless you are a plantation owner or a lawyer or such. They act as if they would prefer that the working class men stay away. I have been in that shop with a pocket full of greenbacks and a bad itch for a new rifle, and have three men behind the counter show me their backs and carry on a conversation, while I waited. I got the point and left.
